As for those highly anticipated Thanksgiving football games? Though the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, aren't slated to play until Black Friday Nov. 29, Travis Kelce's mom Donna Kelce tuned in on Thanksgiving regardless. 

As she noted earlier this month, "Football's always the holidays, football's family."

However, she said at the time that it was unlikely that her son's girlfriend Taylor Swift would be joining the family for Thanksgiving celebrations. 

"She's kind of busy right now," Donna quipped of the singer, who is preparing to wrap up the final leg of her sold-out Eras Tour. "She still has her tour to do."
